Executive Committee 2004/2005
coming year - but I am convinced that I will learn a lot over the next year and will not regret one minute of
HAVIN Manish Shah Students Development Officer
UNIT Jayendra Haria
Volunteers Development Officer Jai Jinendra. What inspired me to join the committee? had been on the committee once before, as the events officer, and had a thoroughly wonderful year working together within an exciting and dynamic team.
Jai Jinendra. My name is Bhavin and I am graduating from The University of Warwick this summer. I helped launch YJS Warwick and really enjoyed my role. I did not want to end in there and so have undertaken this role. My generation is the future of Young Jains and I feel that it is important to develop the Young Jains leaders of tomorrow while they are in University. From a personal point of view I am looking forward to developing a greater understanding of Jain Dharma and utilising the values from Young Jains into daily life. To all students, if you have any queries about anything at Univeristy or if you even want to know how to go about starting a Yjs Society at Univeristy please contact me at: students@youngjains.org.uk.
After taking some time out to backpack around Australasia and S.E. Asian countries, I felt it was time to join the committee once again. I want to experience more and play full out in the new committee.
My talents vary, from being able to befriend anyone; versatility, ability to adapt to any situation – improvisation; unity in diversity; unique and humour.
THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT...THE FUTURE IS YJS!
EEMA Navin Shah Membership Relations Officer
Jai Jinendra. It is an honour to have this opportunity to join the Young Jains committee. I am very enthusiastic to learn more about Jain Dharma in a fun and unique way. I see this opportunity as a challenge geared towards personal development and in tune with my personal aspirations. To be a part of this positive organisation with like-minded people will also give me the opportunity to work as part of a dynamic team to promote Jain Dharma and fulfil the core objectives of Young Jains. As the Membership Relations Officer, I aim to make a positive and meaningful contribution, devote my time and services to the best of my abilities.
Expectations of the year ahead:
Yearn to learn more about the Jain Dharma. • Bring happiness and smiles to all faces.
To be able to inspire the youth of today, to learn more about their religious background, and for them to want to do it willingly, not being forced so by their parents/family. Also the young professionals (21-35 age group) who have finished university and professional exams; to show them that there is a way of going about the day to day life, and making it easy by using the tools that are given to us by the great Jain Dharma. To be able to command an audience and speak freely and fully about Jain Dharma. To be able to recall at will the encounters of
the whole year ahead. • To have mega-fun working with various
groups, committees, and volunteers.

Jai Jinendra. Hi, I'm Ketan and I have only recently become involved with Young Jains. I went to the AGM purely to support YJ and the next thing knew I had been nominated to be in the committee!! I am very grateful to YJ members who have given me an opportunity to get really involved in a very worthwhile cause. I am excited as well as nervous about the challenges ahead of me in the
Jai Jinendra. Having been part of the team last year and enjoyed all the challenges while working on a variety of events including the Navratri Raas Garba. I now look forward to taking on new opportunities to continue supporting Young Jains while developing spiritually as well as improving my personal skills. While taking on the role of Media Officer this year, I would like to continue supporting the Young Jains Book Club and recognise opportunities where Young Jains can be represented in the media.
